Paid-to-post at Forums: Unreliable Work at Home Gigs?

Another means for some to make money online are paid to post forums. If you become a member of a forum who pays its posters, the task might be easy. Just compose 10 to 50 words of post, whether a reply to a thread or as a thread starter itself. It cannot be that difficult right?

Unfortunately, earnings can be a little paltry. Posts are paid for as little as one cent – highest is from 10 to 20 cents. If you are going to start a new thread, the rate will be a little higher. Payments are usually sent to posters via Paypal and Egold.

However, I find paid to post forums as small-time means to earn money online. Yes, it is a work at home gig, making it ideal for many, but the pay can hardly compensate the energy and time that you will pour out to this gig.

Besides, payments are usually late and seldom do you see your request for your pay responded to in time. You have to be patient and unyielding on this regard otherwise your request for payments will fall on deaf ears (that of the forum administrator that is).

The worst that can happen is when a paid to post forum declares “bankrupt” and hence will not be able to accommodate all requests for payments of its members. So, when it comes to considering PTP forums as a way to earn money online, join at your own risk.
